A long while back when Terminator Salvation was going into production rumors started circulating that Josh Broling would be playing the Terminator. The rumor was squashed after it was clear he was not the Terminator ( Sam Worthington got the part ) but it seems there was a time when he nearly was. He told MTV he was approached and did read for the role; “Yeah, I talked to Christian [Bale]...

From MTV we get word that the villain for Hulk 2 has been lined up and it is none other then The Leader who made his cameo debut in the first one as Mr Blue.

Apparently there was some sort of speculation that Hugh Jackman would be involved with X-men First Class. Not exactly sure how but Wolverine himself told IGN UK that he is not involved; “No, there’s no plans. I read about it about like you in the newspapers. You know I’d heard about some kind of movie and for me being a little greedy I said to the guys at Fox ‘I really w...

There has been so much on again off again with the He-Man movie that it requires a wikipedia just to keep track of all the changes. The last word was that John Woo had abandoned the project and of course the original rumors were Brad Pitt would star. The last word we got was the project was dead.. dead..dead. Of course now comes word that is not so true. LatinoReview is reporting that Kung Fu Pan...

Variety has today confirmed the rumor that Gossip Girl writer Josh Schwartz will take on duties for writing the upcoming X-Men First Class. I sure hope it doesnt end up like a teen-drama but considering the plot I would not be surprised. The synopsis for the planned film from ComingSoon goes like this. For millions of years, mankind's place on Earth was unchallenged – until five young peop...

Marvel today announced the director of the upcoming Captain America movie and it is a striking one. The director has two semi big titles to his credit.. Jumangi and Hidalgo but neither film really stands out as 'awesome'. The director is none other then Joe Johnson . It should be interesting to see how this one pans out. There is a rumor that Matthew McConaughey is going to be tapped to play...

SplashPage caught up with Robert Downey Jr to talk to him about the replacement of Terrence Howard in Iron Man 2. He revealed that he had nothing to do with the decision and that he thinks quite highly of Terrence. He also went on to say he wasnt clear why it all happened. “It’s one of those situations where I still don’t quite know what happened or why. Here’s what hap...

This morning I read a really interesting piece on /Film about why Terrence Howard was kicked off of Iron Man 2. Or probably more aptly worded.. was not re-cast as Rhodes aka War Machine. You will recall that Marvel has announced that Don Cheadle will replace him. The rumor originally was that Howard was kicked off the movie over differences over money. If you believe Entertainment Weekly the sourc...

There has been lots of talk of a Dr Strange movie and today rumor hits that Christian Bale will play the part. LiveNews is reporting; A source said: “Christian is hot property right now, courtesy of Batman. “Doctor Strange is a very different kind of hero to Batman and it’s felt Christian is the sort of actor who can make the part work on screen. “It is understood a deal...

MTV caught up with a Marvel exec to try and get him to address the rumors of the re-casting of Terrence Howard and they got a very typical wishy washy answer that says pretty much yes. Why? Because it doesnt say NO which is what they would say if they wanted to keep Terrence involved and happy. MTV quotes the exec; That [‘Hollywood Reporter’ story] was not an announcement. That...

Richard Donner sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to talk about the rumors that he had been brought in on the Wolverine Movie to replace Gavin Hood the director. “I was there to do nothing but help Gavin anyway I could, as a producer and never as a director,” Donner insists. “That was my deal with Lauren. I would never step on another director, and I didn’t go until G...

Talk about shocking news. This morning I woke up to a ton of emails about Don Cheadle replacing Terrence Howard on the upcoming Iron Man 2 and frankly... I was shocked. I also did not believe it. But in doing some research it seems the rumor has started at Reuters who source insiders involved in the production. They say that Terrence Howard wanted to much money so intead Don Cheadle will be offere...

Those crazy friendly folks at FOX have released a bunch of new photos for the upcoming Max Payne movie. the film which recently got a PG13 will be hitting theatres very soon. John Moore the director will be by the sounds of things releasing an un-rated dvd release of the film since rumor has it the film is pretty intense and sexual. Sexual in the form of a rumored cut scene where Mila Kunis b...

The fact that there is a new Superman movie in the works should come as no surprise. The fact that it is being done as a reboot that ignores the first film should also come as no surprise since the first film really wasnt very good. The big shock is that once again rumors are circulating that Brandon Routh will once again play Superman. AICN early reported it through a 'mole' and now LatinoReview ...

Below from PosterGeek comes a new poster for Max Payne. Not anything all that exciting but it is new and worthy of sharing. On a side note all those rumors of Max Payne getting rated PG-13 and then Hollywood Reporter saying its Rated R seems to be a bunch of hogwash. My good friend Vic at ScreenRant pointed out the MPAA has it listed as PG-13 so the trades have it wrong. Synopsis: Comi...

Interesting casting news. LatinoReview is hinting that Ryan Gosling will be playing the role of Green Lantern in the upcoming film. An interesting casting choice. This is the second rumored name to be thrown out for the role ( Tyrese Gibson was mentioned months ago ). This go around though the source is really reliable. By that I mean LatinoReview tends to get their shit right so their could be so...

IESB caught up with Tom Rothman to talk to him about the rumors of a DareDevil reboot and or sequel. DareDevil made $100million but for me the movie was TERRRIBLE.

Tom Rothman from FOX says they still hold the full rights for DareDevil and with the right visionary they might be interested ...

In an interview with MTV Kirsten Dunst let it be known that yes indeed she will be back for Spiderman 4. She said it without hesitation. She then followed that up when asked for solid quotable confirmation that .. its rumors and there is talk. So basically SHE would like to be back but has not been approached is how you might read that. Or you could read it she just saw Toby is going to get $50m...

Kenneth Branagh acccording to the trades is in consideration to direct the upcoming THOR move. The irish director replaces the rumor that DJ Caruso would direct thor ( which was debunked last week ). I have never heard of Kenneth Branagh so should be curious to see how he does with it.  

Earlier IESB talked to DJ Caruso about the THOR movie and his interest in directing it. Now from FirstShowing comes word that as much as he may have had interest in directing it he wont be. They quote DJ as saying, I'm not doing it, but I was always intrigued with Thor, but then at the end of the day when I started thinking about it, I just thought I wouldn't be the right guy to do a movie like...

Oh dear. That is about all I can muster to the thought of Brett Ratner directing an upcoming Conan movie. At least until I finish my morning coffee. According to the fine folks at DreadCentral Nu Image is going to tap Brett Ratner to direct the $100million R rated epic. I am at this point wishing the rumor that Rob Zombie would direct it were true. I dont see Brett Ratner having the talents...
